------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Apr 16 03:40:49 -0700 2006 ------- So... I wandered the web for a while and was unable to find any resolution on this. There are a couple places that suggest that Recent Documents can be cleared via macros - but I found no concrete list of steps. There are lots of macros and after 15 minutes or so I got sick of hunting through them. Being very serious about putting off more productive pursuits - I continued to look at this issue. I searched my profile information and found the file where recent documents are stored. I'm running Fedora Linux 4 - other OS's may vary. Looking at file dates, I determined that most OO config info is under the .openoffice.org2.0 folder in my home directory. After running openoffice and opening a new document I ran the following command, to determine where information about that document might have been stored: % find . -mtime -1 -ls I ran this under the .openoffice.org2.0 folder. I got back a bunch of files and with help from grep discovered that the new document location was stored in ./user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu relative to the .openoffice.org2.0 folder. This looks like a custom xml format, file entries are bounded by <node> </node> delimeters and appear to consist of 14 lines. I edited out the files I didn't want appearing in my recent documents list and started up openoffice again. This file appears to contain a more extensive history of documents viewed than what shows up in Recent Documents. I backed it up before editing it in case there were some unanticipated effects. Everything appears to have gone as planned. I too would like to see a way to clear Recent Documents but until one shows up - the above method, while admitedly cumbersome, seens to work. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
